8 Units per Acre?

How do 8 residences per acre strike you? That is part of the Five Star Development plan for the remaining 2/3 of the land of the Ritz-Carlton Resort property not intended for the resort. The resort will only cover roughly 30 acres while the plan is for 146 residences on 65 of the remaining acres.
How do 12 housing units along Lincoln Drive on about 5 acres sound? That's on the drawing board as well. Montelucia re-visited? Sound like tract housing?
What is the benefit to the town to have such high density? More air pollution, more traffic pollution, more garbage truck pollution, more water consumption, more fire and police protection required. So much for our Town character and open space life-style.
Let our Town Council know how you feel about high density in the residential portion of the Ritz-Carlton proposal.
